Workplace giving is a simple and effective way for employees to regularly donate to charities or organisations who are entitled to receive tax deductible donations. To participate in the workplace giving program the charity or organisation, such as a library or university, must have deductible gift recipient (DGR) status.
Workplace giving is optional. Both the employee and the employer must agree to participate.
You can check the DGR status of a charity or organisation via the Australian Business Register at www.abr.gov.au or by phoning 1300 130 248 with the ABN for the charity or organisation.
Benefits of a workplace giving program to a DGR
A workplace giving program allows DGR(s) to receive donations as a lump sum from each employer. This reduces their costs as the DGR only processes one donation from each employer.
Another benefit is that DGR(s) are not required to issue receipts to the donors (although the employer may request a receipt from the DGR).
